was the moment I knew I wanted more control and flexibility of my time and
life, but fear of replacing my income was the biggest thing holding me back.” The 37-year-old continued: “In
2015 it finally clicked, I needed to redefine what success meant. I

We usually think of honey as a sweetener. But did you know that manuka honey is a natural anti-inflammatory that protects against oxidative damage, kills bacteria ten times more effectively than regular table honey, helps wounds heal and eases common digestion and stomach issues?

Sourced from the Manuka super plant, it can also be used topically as a healing face mask. Here's a DIY mask recipe from the Melora manuka honey brand:1 teaspoon of manuka honey1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon1/2 teaspoon of rose waterMix the ingredients.Wet your face lightly to make the application easier.Apply the mixture all over your face with clean fingers.Leave it on for a minimum of 20 minutes of more.Rinse thoroughly with warm water and pat dry.If you have sensitive skin, skip the cinnamon. And when mixing Melora manuka honey with tea or water for ingestion, let the water cool to a warm temperature before adding. Boiling or extremely hot water will kill off most of the active enzymes.
